Alignment: Loves chaos, but doesn't want destruction on a major scale; simply wants disarray and shock, or things along those lines

Personality: Distrustful, not easily surprised, will help if he is needed, dislikes overconfident people

Powers:
<Mech Name: Yggdrasil

<Mech Appearance: Black with thin yellow lines encircling the wrists, 'ankles' and waist, as well as more lines connecting those. Has a face shield to cover the operator's head, and has two large wings.

<Mech Specialization: Can engage in all-range combat, but loses long-range abilities if working with a partner

<Mech Combat Style: Works best at long-range due to bullet generators, recommended for offensive tactics as Yggdrasil has no extra shielding such as AIC. It can use its wings to decrease damage to the main mech, however it is not recommended as this may damage the bullet generators.

<Pilot Combat Style: Will usually wide-spread the bullet generators as soon as the match begins, then use the wrist guns to close the distance in order to attack with one of his two melee weapons.

<Mech Device: A black armored glove on his right hand

Background: Comes from the USA, he is not a representative candidate.

Other Info: Like Laura, Nick doesn't have a full grip of the Japanese language. In an attempt to make few mistakes (as Nick despises foolishness), he tries not to speak to others. He has a history with people who wish to use his abilities for their own purposes, and so he dislikes everyone right from the start. Nick is very skilled at partial deployment, comparable to Rin. He hates Tabane for ''disrupting the balance between men and women.'' He transferred into Class Two.

I'm sorry if the slots are full on new characters, but I couldn't read through thirty pages in order to find out. I'd like to submit Nick if there are still spots left.

Edit: @Saint X thanks for the advice.

No, the fact that he dislikes Tabane for making power armor that makes women superior in every way to men doesn't mean he looks down on women. And in a fanfiction I'm writing about him, he gets his ass handed to him by a woman in combat more than once.

Heh, welcome to ISOC.
And congratulations, it seems your character is pretty much my OC's natural enemy

Heh, welcome to ISOC.
And congratulations, it seems your character is pretty much my OC's natural enemy

Thanks for the welcome, the idea behind your IS is pretty unique as far as I'm aware. Your character and Nick would definitely come to blows if they met; Fuuko dislikes men, and Nick dislikes arrogant people.

For now, another short short with Fuuko, matching the anime's timeline, but on class 1-2.
The short included with the character can be episode 0
This one is something like, episode 1.35

Spoiler for IS 1.35:

[Class 1-2]
[Recess]

Usually, after the first Short Homeroom of the school year, the newly enrolled students use this short break to get to know eachother.
But this year in IS Academy was different, once the teachers finished, the students rushed to the classroom of 1-1.
Fuuko knew why, she tried to stop it, but was too soft in dealing with it.

And given the circumstances she wasn't in the mood to go to 1-1, her tension meter was already at level 3.
Right now she was trying to deal with the matter at hand, something she wasn't expecting at all...

(W-what are the odds?) Fuuko asked herself, not quite acknowledging the events of the short homeroom.
She was still at her seat, took a deep breath and closed her eyes to make a quick analysis of the situation:

Firstly, the class is full of wierdos. Second and worst of all, the homeroom teacher is a MAN!?

She gently rubbed her temples, her tension meter went up to 4 just from this thought process.
(What forces were at work to gather all these people in a single classroom?) Her left eyebrow twitched, sign that she was annoyed, a quirk she's had since little.
Fuuko opened her eyes, less than half the class was present, probably went to check on 'him', or just out for a walk.

(It's okay, I can deal with this.) She strengthened her resolve. (It's just one...and 'that one' on the previous class. No big deal.) So she said, but her eyebrow continued twitching.
The bell rang, the students hurried back to their seats, and the teacher entered.

Background : Formerly a graduate from the IS academy, she returned as a student counsellor and advisor (school nurse) after going onto Oxford to study flight medicine.

Anything else you can think of : Loves drinking and drinking games. If not for her flaws, Matsuri would have been the perfect yamato nadeshiko every guy sought to have. She claims to have picked up her partying habits when she is university.

Quotes : Enjoy life! Everyday is a holiday!

Kuriya Minori looks and sounds Japanese, but her ancestry can be traced back to the pre-war days of Taiwan. She’s typically happy-go-lucky from day to day, nothing seems to faze her. She is no ditz, but is confident and capable and not afraid to show it. However, if someone calls her Chinese, her mood changes. Since the revealing of IS, progress of the ever-inflexible Middle Kingdom has been curtailed by wild swings in the political and social landscapes, and as a result Taiwan bore the brunt of being repeatedly the target of misplaced nationalistic/paternalistic fervor for the last decade. It has left Minori distrusting of mainlanders like Rin. Never mind that Rin is very good at pissing people off... Minori's IS is the Ragnarok. It was manufactured by TharHes Industries, an MNC based in Northern Europe, with branches all over the world. This Bushwhacker model was sold to the Taiwanese government, and was subsequently assigned to one of their representative candidates attending the ISA, Minori. The Bushwhacker departs from the traditional IS forms, having no forearms as they have been replaced with weapon hard points, and having legs that are bent backwards like a bird's. The IS also forms a transparent ribbed enclosure that incorporates fully the pilot into the torso while lying prone. In a way, the Bushwhacker is the final hoorah for the 2G of IS, bearing one 5-volley long range missile rack on the left shoulder, a 105mm gauss rifle on the right, a pair of 12.7mm light autocannons under the pilot enclosure, and 4 extended range medium lasers, 2 on each "arm". The weapons can be swapped out before a battle, but once loaded they stay on until they are removed. With this immense arsenal, thick armor, without reducing typical Gen2 mobility, one would expect the Bushwhacker to be an upsized monster of an IS. The designers got around that by creating the IS to have a small front face, and packed it down as short as possible, resulting in a squat 4.89m tall 2.3m long warrior. It has been described as a "fighter with legs", best suited for fleet firefights.

Now I need to clear Biker-tan and bend the new male OC, and I can finally do up Tio Ginjyo and Kougami Tsubomi. More replies and reviews when I get home.

PERFECT! This is just like what I planned for a Battle tech to look like! (Goes play mechwarrior 4)

Meister's just put it into the Japanese order, well, that is if Minori is his name and Kuriya his surname.

Ok, finished playing the Eroge that left me in manly tears with its superb plot and, somewhat bittersweet ending.

DAMN THAT BAD GUY... he was such a magnificent bastard... that was to be expected, with Jun Fukuyama voicing him and playing off his dramatic stuff while pulling off AWESOME PLANS!...

Now I'm feeling like finally putting my plans into action.

Omega Gaiden is getting a throughout remodeling.

All my character bios are out of date.
All my chapters are being remade.

Now, I will grant you with CHAPTER 1, and what would seem like a very good opening for Infinite Stratos : Omega Division

And by the way, Maria was supposed to be 1-3's Vice Rep- i don't know how it would be in the 1-2 version.

The line in bold alone already says that you're probably one of those "send women back to the kitchen" people.

I'm not. In that bolded sentence, I simply state the truth; IS makes women superior to men in every way. That is not untrue. Nick dislikes this change because he wants men and women to be equal, which is not unreasonable. With very little evidence you're accusing me of being sexist, which I don't appreciate. But I don't want to start an argument, so think what you want.

sorry but some first impressions and comments from people before you and ones on the sidelines/observing are kinda hard to shake off at the moment - particularly observers

At IS Academy, the ID is an important item for students, teachers and the staff.
Not only does it allow you to identify yourself and enter the school, also works as a pass for trains and buses, as well as a credit card.
This last function is used everyday at the cafeteria...which is where Fuuko was heading to.

The menu provided a large selection of meals, designed to please both japanese and foreign students.
Among the list of eastern dishes, Fuuko's favorite was Kitsune Udon. That's because Fuuko has a thing for foxes, so she loves anything that is related to them.

But, when she reached for her pocket the ID was no where to be found!
"That's strange, I'm sure I put it on my skirt's pocket..." She rummaged through both pockets, even checking the pockets on the upper part of her uniform.
She searched and searched, but the result was the same: nothing.

Fuuko looked at the screen over the counter, sighed as her shoulders dropped, (What am I going to do?)
At that moment, something white appears on her field of vision, as if someone was holding it over her head.
"Huh?" She shifted her eyes upward. Indeed, it was a card with the IS Academy emblem on a corner and a photo on the other end.
In other words, an ID card. A Student's ID Card. Her ID card!

"My ID card!" Fuuko grabs it, then turns to thank the person, "Thank you very mu--"
...Only to find out that it was Ichika. "Geh!" She let out instantly. "O-Orimura..."
"It fell off at the tracks." He said.
(Ah...At that time.) She remembered that morning's events.
"Losing the Student ID on the first day of school, you should be more careful with it." With his eyes closed, Ichika folded his arms and nodded as he spoke.
"Don't push your luck, Orimura." She frowned at Ichika's conceited posture.
"A-ahh." Ichika quickly unfolded his arms.

"So...you didn't use my card or something?" Suspicious, she continued to stare at him.
"I didn't!" He replied, showing his ID, "I have my own ID for that."
"...Fine. I'll let you off the hook this time." She turned around, and said, "But there won't a second, got it?"
"Yeah yeah, I got it. Go eat already, your stomach's been complaining the whole time." Ichika said as he walked away.
"G-gh." Embarrassed, Fuuko blushed as she held her waist.

Letting Ichika be, Fuuko got her ID back, so she could now eat.
With two other students between them, Ichika was the first to reach the counter.
"Kitsune Udon please." Ichika asked the lady at the counter. Got what he asked and moved on to a table.

(Heeeh, he has unexpected good taste.) Fuuko thought as she waited, (Maybe I should go easy on him...)
Then it was her turn to order. "Kitsune Udon please!" Fuuko smiled as she asked.
"Ah, I'm sorry. The last one was just served."
"Eh?" She blinked. (Out? No more? But...but...the last one that ordered it was...)
(O-RI-MU-RA!) Her eyes flashed as she once more glared at Ichika's direction.

At that moment, Ichika felt a chill run down his spine.

Also, changed Fuuko's IS' specs to something more of her style.
Already changed them in the profile, but here they are anyway :3

Spoiler for Kyuubi's specs:

IS Information: Kyuubi, is an IS modeled after a nine tailed fox, each piece of equipment representing a tail.
Equipment consists of 9 long, tail-like "Bit" drones with a certain degree of independence that she can control to attack from various angles.

These bits have their own barrier, and can also act as individual shields to deflect small shots/beams or link together to form a large shield to block a powerful attack.
In addition, two of the Bits can mount on each of her arms and deploy an energy blade for close combat.

Beside the tails, Kyuubi also has two shoulder units shaped like fox-fire that can also attack at command.

Made some designs of unmanned IS drones, they're for the organization that's the primary antagonist in my fanfiction.

Spoiler for Unmanned IS: Greyhound:

Mech Name: Greyhound
Mech Appearance: Dark grey, with extra armor on the shoulders and knees. Has no wings or thrusters, but has two rockets on the back to enable flight.
Mech Specialization: Close-quarters combat
Mech Armaments: Energy claws capable of blocking sword strikes, long spikes extending from the elbows and knees
Mech Combat Style: Is ridiculously fast because of its lack of mass and weapons, is not agile in the air but is very difficult to hit on land. Can jump high enough to hit high-flying ISs. Will usually run in zigzags to close the distance, then jump and grab on before slashing and stabbing an opponent.
Origin: ISEDO

Spoiler for Unmanned IS: Letzten Schuss:

Mech Name: Letzten Schuss
Mech Appearance: Dark green, with two large missile pods on its shoulders. Has very heavy armor on its arms and legs. Massive thrusters on its feet and back. Because of its heavy armor and weapons, this IS appears larger than most others.
Mech Specialization: Long to medium-range combat
Mech Armaments: Two missile pods that each contain twelve missiles, dual-barreled energy rifles mounted on each arm, hip-mounted light machine gun, summonable tri-layer barrier
Mech Combat Style: Letzten Schuss is an absolute tank. Its flying speed is laughably low, and its ground speed is almost as bad. It uses the LMG and energy rifles on ground-based targets, and shoots at aerial targets with its rocket pods. If attacked from multiple sides it will use its tri-layer barrier.
Origin: ISEDO

Edit: Also, another antagonist for the fic.

Spoiler for Russian IS Pilot:

Character Name: Tatiana Matryona
Gender: Female
Age: 15
Looks: Long black hair with a silver headband, dark green eyes, has a large scar across her left eye and a tattoo of the Russian flag on her right shoulder, around Cecilia's height
Alignment: Evil
Personality: Calm, almost emotionless, but can become flat-out pissed if prodded enough. Subtle hints display her mood. She has been known to frighten people into submission with a single intense glare
Powers:
<Mech Name: Wivyrn
<Mech Appearance: Deep crimson, with extendable spikes on the wrists and thrust engines in the soles of the feet and on the back.
<Mech Specialization: Long and close-quarters combat
<Mech Armaments: Two shoulder cannons, two extendable energy spikes, summonable battle axe, summonable (physical) energy shield. Due to the weight of the shoulder cannons, Wivyrn is slow compared to other ISs.
<Mech Combat Style: Recommended for hit-and-run tactics, such as firing shoulder cannons and moving further from the target. If close-up, use the shield and battle axe to defend as the pilot moves to a safer distance. Energy blades are used for heavy strikes to the shields, as the battle axe is less suited for this. Bashing with the shield can also stun opponents.
<Pilot Combat Style: Tatiana is almost always equipped with her axe and shield, she only uses the spikes if necessary. Tatiana stays far back from the enemy and bombards them with her shoulder cannons, blocking counter attacks with the shield. When utilizing the battle axe, she aims for the wings in an attempt to disable flight. If desparate, she will fire her shoulder cannons at point-blank.
<Mech Device: A dragon medallion around her neck
Background: From Russia, she was given Wivyrn by the Russian government due to her extreme piloting skill. She is Russia's representative candidate.
Other Info: Tatiana was recruited by her government to collect information on other nations' IS's. Her personal goal, however, is to find Tabane and -- with Wivyrn -- force her to create the ultimate IS. Because of this, she is at constant odds with Houki and Nick -- Houki because she is the only one who can lead Tatiana to Tabane, Nick because the boy wishes to find Tabane first.

Took some while until I found the right element I could use from the Mass Effect Reapers to put into the IS.
Now I'm just happy I'm done with it.

I imagined that Sovreign would be... fatter? but nice rendition!
When I'm done with all the projects I've currently been assigned, I'll finally finish chapter 2 and 3 and 4... (they're all 4 written, just not polished and finished. Haruka's new personality is kinda hard to write for me.)
